Borescopes... thoughts?

I have one from harbor freight and it has served me well, the reach on it is about 30" and the picture is very clear.
Have the same one. Good unit and fairly cheap. I also have a Gradient Lens Hawkeye Borescope that was almost a grand but it's for checking rifle bores. The Hawkeye looks forward and backwards.

I still have the cheap USB model that I plug into my laptop. AT times I've found that I need to fasten the camera head to something for better control. I could really use better camera software or APP.

Seriously they can be handy looking behind walls, dropped tools, seeing inside motors, etc.

Teslong has some various models that are affordable. Just Google them.

I read up a bit on them yesterday (just a small bit).... one review made a comment that though the picture might have been fine, it took a 2-3 second delay to get it to your phone for viewing.

(Note that I take ALL review, good and bad, with a grain of salt without more substantiation of the comments)

Anyway, I hadn't thought of that angle.

For me, a USB to the PC simply won't be a good idea. PC is inside in my office and my needs for a scope would be outdoors, garage, under hood of car, behind walls...

I guess I'm initially attracted to those with the hand held viewer (camera attached) Maybe that's because that's all I've been exposed to via Autozone. Having one send a signal to my phone is also very interesting..... UNLESS there's a lag.

I'm one of those researching OCD type.... drives me nuts at times. ALWAYS drives my wife nuts.

Trying to avoid that predisposition.
